Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Char 2 poblano peppers directly over a gas burner on medium heat; place in a bowl, cover and let cool. Char 4 ears of corn over the burner; let cool. Peel, seed and chop the poblanos and cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Cook 2 pounds quartered small red-skinned potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, 12 minutes; drain and let cool. Whisk 1/2 cup each mayonnaise, buttermilk and chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos plus 2 tablespoons brine in a large bowl; season with salt. Add the vegetables and toss. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the poblano peppers directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered.
  • If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels. Just be sure to drain and rinse them well before adding them to the salad.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either sour cream or Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt will give the salad a tangier flavor.
  • If you want to add some extra protein to the salad, you can cook some crumbled bacon or shredded chicken and add it to the salad.
  • This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.
